I think you've got a really solid point with this one. We're just a couple months from literally running out of money as a government and GDP to debt ratio is OVER 100% for the first time in recorded memory.
How do we know that the working capital exists to handle a crisis like this under our current circumstances? If they looked at the estimate of the cost/scope of the cleanup and concluded they just didn't have the budget or it would use up an inordinate amount of whatever is left (which is likely shaky anyway) (maybe they HAD TO leave it to the company.
Terrifying but not out of the realm of possibility.
